Moran allegedly slammed his girlfriend’s head into the bar’s metal trash can cage.

After the attack, police described Moran’s girlfriend as “bleeding heavily from her nose and also observed that her nose and right eye were extremely swollen.” One of the ambulance technicians who transported her to Howard University Hospital told police that Moran appeared to have broken her nose and given her a skull fracture under her right eye.

Rep. Moran’s reaction?

Patrick Moran beat up his girlfriend. His dad, Jim, a Dem Congressman, said it was an “embarrassing situation.” #WarOnWomen

This was an accident that has been blown out of proportion. The statements in the police report are inaccurate. Pat and I were arguing, one of my high heels gave out, and I fell into the side of a trashcan. On impact, I fractured my nose. False conclusions were made as a result. I hope our privacy will be respected.

Police witnessed the abuse, Moran the Younger pleaded guilty and his victim said it never happened?

It’s a cliche for a reason and part of the cycle of abuse. Victims are terrorized into blaming themselves and go back to their abusers over and over. And now Patrick Moran is free to go back to abusing Kelly Hoffman, all with Papa Moran’s blessing. And he knows dear ol’ dad will be there to enable his abuse and cover for him when he’s caught.

But, you know, the Morans are totally for the Violence Against Women Act, so nothing to see here. Move along. Will it be an “accident” when she becomes another statistic?

What a despicable family.

Thank goodness the media are on it!

The police report is reporting a skull fracture and the girl says ‘oh wait, I just broke a heel’ and not one person in the press asks any ?s
